First PCB CNC simulation

I've been playing with Eagle in the past few days to get used to its auto-router and board layout. I used PCB-gcode to make some output for my CNC and it looks good so far. I don't have my new PCB milling spindle here yet, but at least I am able to do some simulations. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like in Cutviewer Mill:

Not too shabby. This board is about 1" by 1.25" (inches) roughly. Those are 0805 and 0603 SMD pad mounts. They look large, but this board is pretty small. Very excited :-)
